Fred can usually find a font's ID. But at first glance, I'd say it's probably been customized for this logo. I'd try matching the non-curly-cue letters, and then see if the curly-letters can be easily made from the base font. (but it is possible it is a mix of fonts or even a real genuine font).

I'm amazed at how easily people pirate CDs, DVDs, and software when they wouldn't dream of stealing other things. I find that so odd.

Scubadog, I assume you mean the Desay cuts weren't as clean as the Summa's, right? Ckeller, You may wish to purchase the Roland CX-24...I've got a Roland CX-300...and I like it but it's pretty big for my room...and I don't need it to go 60cm/s or whatever....15cm/s is FINE! The CX-24 is...

I cannot even vote on this one...it's too hard of a choice! I love Signs101.

I don't have the 2" Film strips, of course. What I do have is a page out of an old FORMATT book, which I scanned and vectorized (which due to the small size of the letters on the page, really means I just used the scanned image as a template to trace over.) The other fonts would present no...

Hi all, I've got some ideas for letterstyles that I'd love to make into computer fonts. One is from an old FORMATT book (they used to sell press-on letters or something to the sign industry, I think). It's a highly unusual font that used to get used more often before the computer age, and...

Stevo and Jimdes, Thanks for the replies guys. Today, after reading your posts I booted up Corel and did an envelope... ...and my node handles are back (whew!) BTW, I WAS using the unconstrained mode (that's what was so puzzling), and the envelope starts off with only 8 nodes and I...
